  • "A beautiful large property overlooking fields and Dunstanburgh castle in a perfect location."

    It is walking distance to pubs and a great shop in the village. The property is very spacious with good size bedrooms and lots of en-suites. Perfect for a group or large family

  • "We had an excellent stay at The Lookout."

    It is a superb house with excellent facilities and plenty of space for a group of friends holidaying together. It has fabulous views from the property and many walks can be started from Embleton. The village has a shop Post Office and places to eat so it is well served. I would definitely recommend The Lookout as a lovely place to spend a holiday. Valerie

    The lounge was a lovely place to spend time and we also enjoyed sitting outside and viewing 2 amazing sunsets!

  • "What an incredible house!"

    The Lookout was the perfect place for our family/ friends group holiday; it had everything. From the large bedrooms and spacious dining and living areas, to the kitchen that included every pot/pan/serving dish/utensil you could possibly need for a large group, it was exceptional. It’s big enough for children to play and have fun in, but still cosy and stylish, and homely for when you want to sit back and relax with a glass of wine when said kids have gone to bed! The location is ideal if you want to wake up to a view of the sea, and be able to walk to a pub (there’s actually three within 5 minutes’ walk away) for drinks and a nice meal. We will absolutely be back.

    We had a wonderful week at the Lookout- the house is beautiful and the rooms and layout was just perfect for the six adults to be able to hide from the six children

  • "The house is lovely-very comfortable and very spacious and ideal for a large group."

    It is very well equipped and furnished and was perfect for our group of 11 adults over New Year. The large kitchen and dining area is perfect for a large group to cook, eat and chat and there are two living rooms-both very spacious. The house itself is in a perfect location with views to the beach and sea-fantastic sunrises! Would highly recommend this property- would love to go back in the summer-it has great outside spaces.

  • "The Lookout was everything we hoped it would be and provided an outstanding home for the week in one of the best villages in Northumberland - and unquestionably the best beach!"

    Apr 2017

  • "The property is absolutely stunning."

    It's location is possibly the best we have ever had. The views of the castle and coast, access to the beach for walks, proximity to pubs and a village shop are superb. The internal layout of the property, the facilities and styling are all excellent - fantastic for large parties. I left with enormous sadness, having had a simply brilliant week.

About the location

EMBLETON

Craster 3 miles; Beadnell 4 miles; Alnwick 7 miles.

The pretty village of Embleton is ideally placed for exploring one of the most attractive stretches of Northumberland's Heritage Coastline. A beautiful grassy path runs from the village to neighbouring Craster, alongside the sea and past Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland. Embleton itself has a village pub and a local hotel, and there is an excellent range of amenities in nearby Alnwick. The gardens at nearby Howick Hall are open during the summer and are noted for their beauty, whilst Alnwick Castle and Garden are a 'must-see' when visiting the area. For the keen golfer, Dunstanburgh Links Course is about 1 mile away - just one of several excellent courses in the vicinity.
